Later this week I, Bobby, will be having one of the most important meetings of my art career. I will be talking to Laguna Beach College of Art and Design. This is the school that I want to get my degree from. I have been prepping my portfolio for months. Endless hours of painting, drawing, sketching, and coffee drinking have been the norm for me lately. I will be talking with the Dean of Visual Communication wile I’m there. As artists we are our hardest critics, and sometimes we doubt ourselves. I can’t say I wont be nervous, I just hope I don’t wet myself. I will write about my experience later that night. Oh, and I’m going to DISNEYLAND!

Here is a painting update. This is the new painting I’m working on. This is my first painting using 300lb Arches paper. This stuff is great, but I do notice a difference between this and the 140lb paper. The washes are much better on the heavier paper. So enjoy, I will post a better picture when it’s near completion.

This was a chance for me to relax and let the thoughts flow out of my head through my arm and end up at the tip of the brush. I let this painting do what it wanted do. I did not try to force it into what it was not. Creative freedom at it’s best.

Sigur Ros is a band I listen to often while I paint. I just found this video and I thought it was great. This is what we should do more often, let our inner child to play for a bit. They do not sing in English, but it doesn’t matter.
